The ODOT information or communication systems must be used in a responsible, lawful and ethical manner. Usage for personal or unauthorized activities is strictly prohibited and could result in criminal prosecution under applicable state and federal laws. ODOT’s information technology, Internet access and communication systems must be used solely for purposes that serve ODOT’s mission and goals, and must be accessed only with a valid ProjectWise account. You should have no expectation of privacy, rights or ownership in anything you may access, create, store, send, or receive within ODOT’s network. This application constitutes your waiver, and consents to monitoring, retrieval and disclosure of any information in this network, for all purposes deemed appropriate by ODOT, including the enforcement of agency rules and policies. Be aware that the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) department creates an audit log detailing every inbound and outbound connection made to the Internet and ODOT network system. The ProjectWise audit trail logs user account activities to include the creation of an account along with the individual logins and logouts. The audit history includes any action performed on documents or folders within the ProjectWise system. The ODOT ProjectWise Coordinator creates federated user accounts for each authorized user. Consultants should be aware that an individual who left their firm will continue to have access to the project data until there is a request submitted to ODOT ProjectWise via email or through the portal to disable the individual's account. You are responsible for the secure handling of sensitive personnel, financial and/or security related information you may be authorized to handle. Accessing, viewing, downloading, e-mailing, or storing pornography is strictly prohibited. Pornography is considered sexual harassment at ODOT and will not be tolerated. Transmission of material in violation of any state or federal law or regulation is prohibited. Dissemination of information regarding ODOT’s network, network topology, network addressing or hardware is prohibited. Unauthorized activities that could compromise the ODOT’s systems or data are strictly prohibited, including: network scanning (sniffing), vulnerability scanning, security testing, and password cracking. Attempts to defeat security mechanisms are treated as a security incident and are potentially subject to civil and/or criminal penalties. You should report any observed attempts by others to defeat security mechanisms to OMES. You are responsible for maintaining full and up-to-date virus protection on any microcomputer used to access the ODOT ProjectWise system. All downloaded files must be isolated and checked for known viruses before use. The reliability of Internet access and Internet email depends on the configuration and availability of systems beyond ODOT’s network, therefore problems affecting these services may be outside the control of the ODOT.
